Something I don't think we talk about enough is just how rad of a guy Daniel Radcliffe truly is. Here is a dude who is proud of his past work shaping millions of people's childhoods through the Harry Potter movies. He's never embarrassed to talk about his role as the most famous fictional wizard during interviews. At the same time, he has been able to move on from the franchise and star in a slew of really cool and weird movies. He has done action movies, a romantic comedy, and a movie where he…

If you're one of the lucky ones, you can do it in person, like my friend who was sorted into Hufflepuff at a bookstore the night of the Deathly Hallows book release.
